Dalena Thompson, born 10/31/1954 in Chickasha, Oklahoma, passed away in Tulsa at the age of 65.
Dalena went to Berryhill schools and graduated from Berryhill High School. Throughout school, she was called spooky by some due to her birthday being on Halloween.
Later in life, she did a lot of square dancing and played Yahtzee with her mom and step-dad as well as going to garage sales and playing dominoes with friends on weekends.
Dalena worked for Tulsa public schools for over 20 years before retiring 2 years ago.
Dalena loved retirement and loved spending time with her two dogs, Lizzy and Bouncer, as well as spending time with her kids. Dalena was a caring and giving person not just to her family but her extended family of work friends and friends she met through her life. Dalena loved cooking and making quilts during her retirement; she enjoyed watching daytime tv and watching wrestling, nascar and OU football, as well.
She is survived by her son Robert Thompson and daughter Tina Thompson; her brothers Alan and Wayne Drewry. She was preceded in death by her mom Juanita Chasteen and father Dale Drewry and step-dad Herbert Chasteen.
